Saphala Ekadashi 2025 Vrat Katha

The story of Saphala Ekadashi connects to King Mahishmat. Mahishmat ruled the kingdom of Champavati. The king had a son named Lumbhak, who remained trapped in bad habits. Because of this, the king expelled his son from the kingdom. After being expelled, Lumbhak began living in the forest. He survived by eating fruits. After some time, his behavior began to change positively.

On the Ekadashi of the Krishna Paksha of the month of Pausha, he remained hungry all day and remembered Lord Vishnu in the evening. In this way, Lumbhak observed the Ekadashi fast unknowingly. The merit of this fast removed the effect of all his sins. When King Mahishmat learned about Lumbhak’s changed behavior, the king called his son back to the palace. The merit of the Ekadashi fast changed Lumbhak’s life, and he received back his honor and his kingdom.

How to Observe Ekadashi Vrat

People who want to observe Ekadashi Vrat should begin its preparation one day earlier, in the evening of Dashami Tithi.
Eat balanced food on the evening of Dashami. Sleep early so you can wake up at sunrise on Ekadashi.
Wake up early on Ekadashi morning and offer water to the Sun after bathing. Worship Lord Ganesha in the home temple.
Perform the abhishek of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Decorate them with garlands, flowers, and clothes. Light incense and lamps. Offer sweets with Tulsi. Take the vow of Ekadashi Vrat while meditating on Lord Vishnu.
Avoid grains during the day if you observe Ekadashi. If fasting completely is difficult, you may eat fruits and drink milk. Chant Vishnu mantras on Ekadashi. Read or listen to the stories of Lord Vishnu.
Worship Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi properly after sunset on Ekadashi evening. Light a lamp near Tulsi. Sing devotional songs.
Wake up the next day, on Dwadashi Tithi, and provide food to needy people after worshipping Vishnu and Lakshmi. Perform charity. After that, take your meal. This completes the Ekadashi Vrat.
